Sandy soil find, 3-4 kinds
    #22281546 - 09/23/15 10:28 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Habitat:
South facing slope, sandy soil, alfalfa field.

Gills:
#1 Grey colored caps are bluish white when young. Maturing to black starting at rim and progressing inward.

#2 Brownish caps have extremely crowded gills. Have to pull them apart to see them well. Turning bluish black when bruised. No mature specimens found. Gills otherwise white. (Guessing Inky caps?)

#3 Small yellowish caps have bluish black gills, evenly spaced close not crowded. Found both sporadically and in a cluster (assuming the cluster is the same species) I've typed 7 species in 100'. Maturing the cluster now to determine if the gills start out light and turn blue into maturity. 

Stem:
#1 Strong, with small hollow core.

#2 Hollow, with a web like material. Almost like a silk worm byproduct.

#3 hollow, brittle stem

Cap:
See pics, nothing special to note about texture.

Spore print color:
#1 black

#2 black

#3 ..........

Bruising:
#1 bluish black

#2 ?

#3 dark blue

Other information:
Interesting note on the location. Most of these were located in the shade of a Russian olive on the southern end of a 30+ acre field of alfalfa. Seemed to only be in that area, but it was just cut two days ago so a lot of specimens were destroyed I'm sure. Can't wait for some rain.

Oh yeah, got the cops called on me today for these, let's get a good ID! :grin:

The final pic looks wet because I rinsed the sand off of them.

And pic #3 does not show it well but the darkening at the rim of the cap is definitely bluish.

Coprinoid. Not active, if that's what you wanted to know.

Actually, active is not really my big concern. It'd be nice, but if I really want some I'll order some. I'm more in this to identify new foods.

Taking it slow before I start eating. Getting used to my field guide and just working the land.

I do believe I found "Inky Cap" heaven.

It appears to be
Coprinellus micaceus
Coprinus comatus
Coprinopsis atramentaria

Do those seem to fit the bill here?

I matured the small yellow caps overnight. They are clearly inky caps.

Can I get a TI second.

I've read these are great mushrooms to eat. Just need confirmation.

How pathetic, if its not an active ID request no-one replies. Thanks anyways guys. Got a field guide, gone with Google gonna just buy what I need. Not gonna waste my time dicking around compiling info for your catalog here.
Yeah, I'm mad. Yeah I'm being a bitch. Wanna fight about it? Reply then! Eh, fuck it, peace. I'm out!

yeah mate they look like inky caps to me. Or some sort of Coprinus / Coprinopsis.

I'm sorry that no TI has replied with a solid answer yet, but either way keep up the hunting. It's not always the case that you can't get an ID on non-actives here. I've had plenty of edible mushrooms ID'd here...


--------------------
My CA Legend:
A plus sign (+) means I took it within 20 minutes of then.
A minus sign (-) means I took it more than 20 minutes ago, but it's still active.

I didn't pay attention to who made the post, otherwise i wouldn't have commented on them being active or not. I didn't say anything else because I'm not 100% on what species they are.

It's never the case. At least 50% of all discussion is regarding non-active species. This is a forum for fungus enthusiasts and as such it is not important whether active species are being discussed or not.

Hey, what can I say?  It's growing season and I think my mangina is a bit fungal. Ha! Can I get an ID? School's starting and I'm stressed the EFF out.

Back to the original post, I put the good young inky caps in the freezer for later use. I don't have the time for them atm. Maybe a confirmation will pop up in the near future or I will be able to collaborate other field guides to get a definitive ID on my own. As for now, it's time for school. Thanks all!

I'm guessing Coprinellus micaceus for the first and Coprinus atramentaria for the second

The white ones are Coprinus Comatus. Thanks to my trusty field guide! :wink:

SUPER SUPER YUMMY, if I happen to die or get a tummy ache after I'll let y'all know! :evil:

The first pic of the second row looks like C. comatus yes although i assumed it was the same as the others on the right which aren't C. comatus, so just assumed it was the way they looked in those first pics.
C. comatus is good eating indeed although I've only ever eaten them raw as i find them because they don't make the journey home too well.

I live next to the field I get them. So I either freeze them or cook immediately. Also, if I pull one I make sure the cap is firm and still attached to the stem it lasts a lot longer. Otherwise you're right. Might as well bring a burner and sauce pan with.

I did cut a fresh cap in half (lengthways) and laid it out to see if it would drop spores and it took a while to decomp. I was shocked, more than a day to darken. So I wonder if you pull the stipe,  cut them up a bit and reduce the total moisture content contained in one piece, if that is what dramatically slowed the decomp, I'll do some tests when I pick some freshies. The patch is bare now.
